The occlusion effect refers to the altered perception of one's own voice when the ear canal is fully or partially obstructed. Conventional countermeasures include the use of large vent bores or open fittings on the one hand and fittings reaching as deep as ...
We studied possible brain changes with functional MRI (fMRI) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in a patient with a rare, high-intensity "objective tinnitus" (high-level SOAEs) in the left ear of 10 years duration, with no associ ...
This research addresses the challenge of incorporating dynamic range limiting of the magnitude response of HRTFs for hearing-impaired listeners who are using binaural hearing aids. In this application, a direct implementation of spatialization using the or ...
Introduction: As otology enters the field of gene therapy and human studies commence, the question arises whether audiograms - the current gold standard for the evaluation of hearing function - can consistently predict cellular damage within the human inne ...
This paper describes a novel mechatronic platform, named "Up-Down Chair" (UDC), aimed at investigating otolith function in patients with vestibular disorders. The UDC was designed to provide a wide range of repeatable and controllable vertical oscillations ...
The vestibular system is composed of otolith organs and semi-circular canals that encode linear and angular accelerations, as well as the position of the head with respect to gravity. Thus, the detection of self-motion, the distinction between self- and ob ...
The vestibular system encodes rotations and translations of the head in space. While much is known about cortical processing of the classical Aristotelian sensory modalities, such as vision and touch, knowledge of how vestibular stimulation is encoded in t ...
In 2015, 360 million people, including 32 million children, were suffering from hearing impairment all over the world. This makes hearing disability a major worldwide issue. In the US, the prevalence of hearing loss increased by 160% over the past generati ...
Tinnitus is the chronic perception of ringing or other phantom sounds. Some tinnitus patients addi- tionally suffer from loudness hyperacusis that is the over-sensitivity to environmental sounds. Here, we recruited eight patients with unilateral hearing lo ...
The vestibular organs are very important to generate reflexes critical for stabilizing gaze and body posture. Vestibular diseases significantly reduce the quality of life of people who are affected by them. Some research groups have recently started develo ...
